When Isabella (Ellen Lauren) confronts her brother Claudio (Matt
Loney) in his cell, explaining the price she has been asked to
secure his freedom; when Isabella and the disguised Duke (Philip
Kerr) conspire [*-4] to trick Angelo; and when Mariana (Annalee
Jefferies), a woman wronged by Angelo, confronts him with his
past misdeeds, the performers bring the dramatic high points to
life with intense energy and intelligence.
